Night Nexus
AI-native software development studio

Ship the AI-enabled product you've been describing in meetings.

Real AI-enabled software, designed by a group of senior software engineers, each with decades of experience. AI-native apps, built end to end with scalability in mind.

Senior & hands-on

A senior engineer leads every build — no account managers, no hand-offs to juniors.

AI-native

Modern AI built in from day one — not bolted on later. Retrieval, agents, evals, the parts that are actually hard.

Fixed scope, real deadlines

A fixed proposal before we start, and a date we ship to. No open-ended retainers, no surprises.

Services

Four ways to work together.

Start small with an audit, or go straight to a shipped product. Every engagement is fixed-scope and priced up front.

The Requirements Builder

Scope your project in five minutes — not five meetings.

Answer a handful of quick questions and our AI scoper drafts a clear brief, suggests the right engagement, and books your call — no back-and-forth. It's also a live demo of exactly what we build.

Process

How we work.

Four steps from first conversation to a shipped, supported product.

  1. 01

    Scope

    We map what you're building and where AI earns its place — a founder-led call, or the scoper.

  2. 02

    Fixed proposal

    A clear scope, price, and ship date before any work starts. No open-ended meters.

  3. 03

    Build in the open

    A dedicated senior engineer ships weekly increments you can use — not status decks. You watch it come together.

  4. 04

    Ship & support

    We launch it, and stay on to harden, measure, and iterate once it's real.

Work

Shipped work, real outcomes.

A few things built end to end — the result first, the tech second.

Redliner — product screenshotRedliner
Legal-tech SaaS · MVP Sprint

Contract review that reads the first pass for you.

Built for an in-house legal team buried in manual redlines. Redliner ingests a contract, flags the risky clauses, and drafts suggested edits — so lawyers start from a marked-up draft instead of a blank page.

Quoter — product screenshotQuoter
ERP integration · AI Feature Build

Vendor quotes into NetSuite, without the data entry.

A distributor running NetSuite was rekeying vendor quotes by hand. Quoter parses any quote — PDF or email — into structured line items and pushes them straight into NetSuite, matched to the right records.

LLM Router — product screenshotLLM Router
AI infrastructure · Platform build

One API, the right model for every request.

A routing layer that sends each request to the best-fit model — balancing quality, latency, and cost — with automatic fallback when a provider degrades. The project that gave this studio its name.

About

A studio of senior engineers who ship.

Night Nexus is a boutique studio that designs and builds production-grade apps with modern AI built in from day one. Every engagement is led by a senior engineer — never handed down to a bench of juniors.

David, our founder — three decades building and shipping software, from architecture to production — runs your first scoping call, then pairs you with a senior engineer who owns the build end to end. Real AI products, shipped with an engineer's candor about what's worth building and what isn't. Proof over promises.
